usual calm reserve when the news OF the
decision reached him on the bench, where
-he was hearing another case. When as.
sured that the report was true, he said,

verdict is just one" .h74 -

defense fund, said that should the State
Supreme Court refuse to grant IN appeal

interview them were resolutely resisted. z
